However, compared to the opponent's good performance, I think the difficulty comes from our mistakes. The main problem is with U23 Vietnam. In the second half, when I made some changes, the game was much better. The players tried their best in this match," coach Park Hang-seo assessed the match.

Thanh Minh needs to improve a lot in the future, but at present he has many advantages. If this player tries hard, I am sure he will become a good striker of Vietnamese football in the future."
